Imagine walking through the spectacular New York institution, the MoMA before opening hours, with nobody there except us and the tour guide.

Join us for a private tour to see and hear everything about one of Holland’s greatest artists of the last century. The tour only has a maximum capacity of 25 persons, so you have to be quick to register or else you might miss out on this unique opportunity!

Willem de Kooning (April 24, 1904 – March 19, 1997) was a Dutch American abstract expressionist artist who was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In the post-World War II era, de Kooning painted in a style that came to be referred to as Abstract expressionism or Action painting, and was part of a group of artists that came to be known as the New York School. Other painters in this group included Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell, Philip Guston and Clyfford Still.

In September 2011 de Kooning's work was honored with a large-scale retrospective exhibition titled: de Kooning: A retrospective, which runs from September 18, 2011 through January 9, 2012 at the MoMA in New York City. Organized by John Elderfield, it's the first major museum exhibition devoted to the full breadth and depth of de Kooning's career, containing nearly 200 works.
